Specifications
Van's Aircraft RV14/14a
-
The RV-14 is the newest airplane from Van’s Aircraft, Inc.
-
It continues and improves on the legacy of the most successful side-by-side two-seat kit aircraft in history.
-
A 210 hp Lycoming IO-390 lives under the graceful cowl and supplies plenty of power.
-
The RV-14 is a sport touring airplane that handles basic aerobatic manoeuvres easily and gracefully.
-
The upright seating position and large bubble canopy provide superb visibility in all directions.
-
The wide cabin and large instrument panel give the occupants lots of room and lots of information.
-
The large cabin is truly roomy with a tip–forward canopy that allows it to open wide for entry and loading baggage.
-
The relatively long wing uses the proprietary airfoil that’s proved so successful on the RV-10.
-
The wing is constant-chord and constant thickness, making it completely predictable in flight.
-
Big slotted flaps keep landing speeds low.
-
The RV-14 cabin accommodates full-sized adults — in fact, the basic idea was to provide RV-10 room and comfort in a two-seat airplane.
